I drew the attention of the curators of the Corset Museum, Doctor Bradbury-Winter and Mr A.C. Pitt-Rivers to this remarkable corset modelled by the delectable Ophelia Overdose and they intend to get Mrs. Maris Piper of Kinky Korsets in Holfirth to get then a sample  for display if possible. ‘Friends of the Corset Museum’ will be notified if they get one for display. Hopefully Tumby Woodside may be persuaded to model it.

ROYSTON VASEY NOTES AND NEWS
Knowing of my interest in Corsets  our Corset Correspondent  sent me the link to this interesting page on the subject. I showed this picture to Mr A.C. Pitt-Rivers FRS, Curator of the Royston Vasey Museum of Artifacts and Implements and he was most interested, saying it was a magnificent specimen. He proposes, if suitable sponsorship can be found, to have the craftsmen at The Dreadnaught Corset Company produce a replica. It is a marvel of engineering with its triple fan lacing and with a considerable amount of steel in its constuction The Preston Mechanical Ladies feel it is worthy of their attention and indeed their Hon Secretary annie52 has volunteered to wear the replica when completed. We look forward to this event with keen interest.Click HERE

Mr A.C. Pitt- Rivers of the Royston Vasey Corset Museum has written to me to point out that in the post HERE Blenda is wearing  a very fine specimen of a Viking Corset very similar to that excavated by him and Dr Bradbury-Winter in their dig at Smörgåsbord. He is, along with fellow Trustees  Anitab  and  Frenchtwist  , at present in talks with the West Yorkshire Police on the possibility of offering their Policewomen a modern version instead of the bulky and shapeless protective flack jackets they wear now.
